THE SCENT OF A TRAP

SELENA

The moment I laid eyes on Lilith, when I let my gaze move over her and took in every detail, a quiet, sharp certainty began to grow inside me. Something was wrong. Not in the way she carried herself—because outwardly she seemed calm, composed, even defiant—but in the way her presence felt, the undercurrent that rippled through the air between us. It was as if her very arrival carried the weight of a plan I couldn’t yet see in full, a plan that smelled faintly of Adrian’s cunning. I had known him long enough to recognize the shadow of his hand even when the move was subtle, dressed in something that looked harmless.

Lilith stood there with the posture of any strong she-wolf, shoulders back, chin tilted just high enough to suggest she would not be broken easily. There was no visible sign of pregnancy, not in her body, not in the way she moved. If she hadn’t spoken the words, if Lucian hadn’t repeated them to me, I would never have guessed she carried a child. And even now, lookin

    SELENAI had directed Mara, the oldest maid in the Alpha’s quarters, to take very good care of Lilith. Mara had served in this house longer than anyone else, her quiet efficiency and unshakable loyalty making her the perfect choice for such a task.I found her in the kitchen that morning, her sleeves rolled up to the elbows, hands deep in a basin of steaming water as she rinsed the last of the breakfast plates. The scent of fresh bread lingered in the air, mixing with the sharper tang of soap, and the faint hiss of the boiling kettle filled the silence between us. She looked up as soon as I stepped in, wiping her hands on her apron before bowing her head slightly.“Mara,” I began, keeping my voice even, each word chosen carefully. “I want you to see to Lilith’s comfort. Everything she needs, she gets. Meals—hot, on time, and to her liking. Clothing—washed, folded, ready in her quarters. Keep her rooms warm, and make sure the bed is turned down each night before she comes in.”Mara’s e

    LUCIAN“I think this is another plan to get you…” Selena said, her voice steady but edged with something sharper than mere suspicion, as she stood directly in front of me.My confusion was so immediate, so consuming, that I didn’t even register the moment my mouth opened. “What do you mean?” I asked, the words rougher than I intended, my brows drawing tight.She didn’t answer right away. Her gaze held mine for a beat too long, as if weighing whether to speak the thought aloud, and then her eyes flicked briefly—not toward the gate, not toward the path I’d been planning to take—but toward the warrior quarters. Instinctively, my own head turned.Lilith was there.She sat on the narrow bench just outside her door, her back straight but her hands folded neatly in her lap, the picture of composed stillness except for the restless way her thumbs rubbed over each other. The corridor around her was hushed, save for the faint, rhythmic clatter of someone sharpening a blade in the far distance a

  • THE LUNA'S FATE; A Cursed Omega's Rise    KEEPING HER IN SIGHT

    LUCIANSelena stood between me and Lilith, her posture still and composed, yet I could see the way her eyes lingered on Lilith as if they were looking through her, not at her. That distant, unreadable look she wore told me her thoughts had slipped away from the present moment, wandering somewhere far darker—back to places she would rather not revisit. I knew the path her mind might be taking, because I had walked it too in my own way, stepping over shards of memory sharp enough to cut long after the wounds had closed. Her time with Lilith and Adrian had not just left marks on her body but had etched deeper scars into her spirit, and I understood too well how certain faces could pull those memories to the surface like smoke rising from embers that had never truly died.The air between us seemed to hold a tension that didn’t belong to the here and now, something unspoken yet heavy enough to press on my chest. I didn’t want this to linger—not for her, and not for me. This was not the tim

  • THE LUNA'S FATE; A Cursed Omega's Rise    THE SHAPE OF REMORSE

    SELENAI moved toward them in unhurried steps, my boots pressing lightly into the soft earth, each pace deliberate, as though the weight of the moment itself slowed me down. My eyes shifted between Lucian and Lilith, and though I told myself to look away, I couldn’t. She was here—after all this time, after the shadow she had cast over my life—and she was as I remembered, yet altered in ways that made me pause. Her frame had grown leaner, not with the grace of someone training or thriving, but in the weary way of a person who has been walking too long with a burden they can’t set down. Her posture, though still upright, lacked the steel she once carried in her spine, and the proud tilt of her chin was nowhere to be found.Lucian’s gaze lingered on me as I approached, deep and unreadable, like there were words already formed in his mind that he had chosen not to speak—at least not yet. The warriors stood still, silent as carved stone, their watchful eyes shifting between us, as if they

  • THE LUNA'S FATE; A Cursed Omega's Rise    BETWEEN THE PINES AND THE PAST

    LUCIAN"How's my baby doing?" I asked again, this time more softly, letting the words settle in the tense air between us. I didn’t raise my voice, didn’t press her—just let it hang there like a question the wind might carry away. But Lilith still didn’t answer. Her silence wasn’t just silence—it was deliberate. Her head turned slightly to the side, her face angled away from mine as if the question itself had wounded her.I watched her closely, narrowing my eyes slightly, trying to read something—anything—in her expression. But all I saw was a quiet sorrow that seemed to have rooted itself in her features. It clung to her like a shadow she couldn’t outrun. There was no fear, no rebellion, no fire left in her eyes. Only that strange, fragile sadness that made her seem smaller somehow, less the weapon she had once been and more like someone who had never wanted to be here in the first place.She had finally been brought to me, after everything.Two warriors stood behind her, their hands
